Why does CS FIG get such bad press on here? Haven't they worked on 2 of the 3 biggest FIG deals of the last 6 months? From what I've heard from people they have been a top 3-5 FIG group in terms of revenue over the last year or so. Also isn't FIG overall going to be very busy post-crisis?

Strong group, strong deal flow, and very well regarded within CS so there's good promotion opportunities (more relevant for ASO's) but it's also FIG so it won't ever be considered some super hot commodity by incoming analysts. Long hours, but that's typical for FIG. It's telling that in this year's re-shuffle of IBCM's org structure, FIG is the only industry group that remained on it's own. Believe FIG recruits separately from CS general pool at analyst & ASO levels, but not positive.
HOLDDD UP. Haha what???
FIG is consistently the group the is roasted within CS. I honestly don’t know much about it, all I know is that everyone within CS says you don’t want to be in FIG lmao. They have to run a separate process because no one wants them during group selection.
I’m sure it’s still a decent group in terms of deal flow. I’ve heard it’s just extremely sweaty and exit opps aren’t that great given that it’s a niche group and not one of the stringer groups
Top groups at CS are FSG, LFO&R, and then maybe Tech and M&A.
